BSN, Christians mark National Bible Day


THE Bible Society of Nigeria, BSN, and the Christian community are set to celebrate National Bible Day tomorrow.

In a statement, General Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of BSN, Pastor Samuel Sanusi, said the day was being celebrated annually across the country by churches, schools, and other Christian organizations to enable Nigerians reflect on and imbibe the values prescribed by the Holy Book.

He added that it was an opportunity to highlight the importance of the Bible and encourage its study and application in daily life.

Sanusi urged Nigerians to participate in the National Bible Day celebration through studying, meditating, and reflecting on the Word of God.

“Our socio-economic and security challenges as a nation will be greatly reduced if people adopt and live by godly values. 

“If the global community could celebrate Workers’ Day, Independence Day, Water Day, Literacy Day, and other days, set aside to be remembered, it will be ideal to also use a day to celebrate the Bible, a gift from God to humanity and pray for the well-being of the nation,” he said.

BSN is a not-for-profit interdenominational Christian organisation that translates the Bible into Nigerian languages, publishes, and distributes the Scriptures, as well as raises funds for the Bible work and execution of programmes that help people to engage with the Word of God to transform their lives. 

So far, we have the full Bible in 27 Nigerian Languages with ongoing Bible translation/revision projects in 10 (ten) Nigerian languages at their respective stages of completion. It costs the organisation a minimum of ¦ 120,000,000.00 to complete a Bible translation project if achieved in eight years.
